Today in the News Media

Today in the News Media is a synopsis of some of the most prominent coverage of OSU people and programs. Inclusion of any item constitutes neither an endorsement nor a critique, but rather is intended only to make the OSU community aware of significant items in the media.

The PM level was 44 during the 2004 Olympics in Athens, 24 in Sydney in 2000 and 28 in Atlanta in 1996, said Staci Simonich, a professor at Oregon State University who published a 2009 study on pollution at the Beijing Games. “Rio’s numbers are all too common for the developing world. That is the sad reality,” said Simonich. (see also Reuters)

That might be changing. The Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, last week posted a job ad seeking a scholar who can help the National Museum of American History collect artifacts and conduct field research for a project on beer brewing in the United States, with a focus on the last half-century. Three years ago, Oregon State University created the Oregon Hops and Brewing Archives in a similar bid to preserve the historical record of beer making in that region.

The days when most of the American population lived on farms is long past. Which is why the Extension Service at Oregon State University offers a Land Steward Program, to teach new and aspiring country dwellers to take better care of their property–and ultimately, themselves.

There are ways to help new students get a handle on how scholars invent new ideas. Anne-Marie Deitering of Oregon State University, for example, has come up with some great ones, and is very smart about taking a cultural approach to this stage in student learning.

The $210,000 grant from Oregon BEST will help Oregon State University researchers study its use on animal waste at an organic dairy. Steinmeyer said the tests are just starting, but they’re looking forward to getting information soon to perfect the technology. (see also Digital Journal, Food Safety News)

Hospital readmissions in the United States cost $17 billion a year and are a serious problem, according to researchers from Oregon State University and Oregon Health & Science University. (see also Pharmacy Today)

When Oregon State proposed a $50 million building in a tsunami inundation zone in Newport in 2014, it heard worried responses from a state geologist and an OSU professor who believed a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake off the Oregon Coast would decimate the facility. But after studying other possible locations for its new Marine Studies Initiative, the university announced Thursday it’d made a final decision: OSU would build the 100,000 square foot expansion on the controversial property near the mouth of Yaquina Bay, anyway. (see also Gazette-Times, OPB, Oregonian)

Oregon State University President Edward J. Ray announced Aug. 3 that a new $50 million center for global marine studies research and education will be built at OSU’s Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport.

And then, some fish actually produce their own natural sunscreen to combat the summer rays. Researches from Oregon State University discovered that fish naturally produce the compound gadusol, which provides UV-B protection, among many other things. We’ve known that bacteria, algae, and fungi produce gadusol and thought fish obtained the compound by eating the microorganisms that made it. But as a result of the study we now know they synthesize the compound on their own. So of course, as we humans do, we’re going to science the hell out of that stuff.

A new study from Oregon State University researchers and colleagues worldwide shows that massive earthquakes along the Cascadia subduction zone have occurred somewhat more frequently than has been believed in the past. (see also Register-Guard, KATU, KVAL)

Special Olympics Oregon will move its Summer State Games to Oregon State University and venues around Corvallis beginning in 2017. The games are scheduled for July 8-9 next year. (see also Newberg Graphic)

Harriet Nembhard, a professor of industrial engineering and an expert in operations research, process improvement, and quality control, has been named as the new head of the School of Mechanical, Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at Oregon State University.

The cultivar, tested as OSU 880 027, is a crossbreed between ‘Tonda Pacifica x Santiam’ developed within the Oregon State University’s genetic improvement programme. McDonald is an early cultivar – the nuts fall 14 days earlier than ‘Barcellona’, i.e. before the rainy season, so cleaning and drying costs are lower.

Cabrera, whose title lists her as a visiting instructor in Oregon State University’s drama department, also serves as the department’s costume designer; in her first year heading OSU’s costume shop, she’s designed the wardrobes for a number of OSU shows, including this year’s Bard in the Quad production, “Love’s Labour’s Lost.” The show, opens tonight for a two-week run.

Five historians talked about foreign policy leaders ranging from Presidents Woodrow Wilson to George H.W. Bush. They each examine key figures of the twentieth century from World War I to the fall of the Berlin Wall.

OSU, which announced the Poling issues July 5 after testing all University Housing and Dining Services facilities, has completed its testing of all campus buildings and found two other fixtures with lead levels above 15 ppb.

Corvallis itself stands poised to become the U.S. hub for developing CLT technology. Oregon State University’s College of Forestry’s Wood Science & Engineering department researchers and associated partnerships are providing the data to confidently design, build, and certify these types of mass timber buildings. The College of Forestry’s own new buildings will feature a variety of mass timber construction technologies, including CLT. Someday soon, temporary structures designed and built in student competitions could add to the growing library of different solutions in this fledgling industry.

The Berblingers and other local farmers got some help Thursday, when Oregon State University and the state Department of Agriculture held a “crop-up” farmers market and dinner at the university’s Seafood Lab in Astoria, part of an effort to promote Oregon’s bounty. (see also Capital Press)

Jackson Carpenter knows he got lucky: a two-bedroom duplex for $1,000 a five-minute drive from the new OSU-Cascades campus on the west side of Bend. The 20-year-old college junior moved from Portland late last month. He’d lived in a dorm before and didn’t want to go back (“I’ve got too much stuff”), so he started looking off campus. Coming from Portland’s soaring rental market, Carpenter thought finding a place here would be easier.

The student-produced Beaver ClassicTM Smoked Cheddar Cheese from the OSU Creamery won a third place ribbon at the American Cheese Society annual competition in Des Moines, Iowa, July 27-30, 2016. (See also Capital Press)

“To grow artichokes from seed, start them indoors in late February or March under grow lights for about eight weeks, and then plant them outside after the last frost,” said Jim Myers, a plant breeder and researcher at Oregon State University. “In May or June, it’s best to purchase starts from your local nursery or mail-order catalog.”

Traffic and Maintenance

NEW! Power shut down: Pacific Power, our electrical utility provider, has an urgent need to make a circuit repair. For this repair to happen they will need to shut down the power to the following buildings: Waldo, Langton, Moreland, Fairbanks, Snell, McAlexander Fieldhouse, Kerr Admin, Gladys Valley Gymnastics, Pharmacy, Furman Hall, Callahan, McNary, Wilson, Weatherford, Buxton, Poling, Cauthorn, Hawley, Heckert, Reed Lodge, West Dining & Peavy. The shutdown will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 13, and should end by 6 p.m.

35th Street closure: A four-week closure is planned for 35th Street this summer between Sagebrush Drive (the entrance to The Retreat) and Washington Way. While the exact dates are yet to be determined, Public Works expects the closure period to begin in late July or early August. Signs will be placed on 35th Street one week ahead of the planned closure to alert regular users of the pending traffic change. This closure will help facilitate the reconstruction of the 35th Street approaches to the railroad tracks. This project will complete improvements to the crossing which began in January 2016. Detour routes will be established along 30th Street, Jefferson Way, and Western Boulevard during this period. After the initial 4 weeks, closures will continue during construction hours, with the street being reopened to traffic on nights and weekends. Construction is expected to be complete in September 2016.

Johnson Hall: As part of the Johnson Hall project, reconstruction of 26th Street from Campus Way north to the Johnson Hall project will take place starting Monday July 25 through Aug. 10. This will require closure of the parking and sidewalk along Ballard Hall as shown in the image (view map). The intersection of Campus Way and 26th will remain fully open and 26th Street south of 26th will open concurrently with the closure for this work. The existing detour under the ALS/Cordley bridge will be removed Monday, July 25. During this work there may be disruptive noise and minor dust.

29th Street: Construction on NW 29th Street will mean periodic street closures between Tyler and Grant Avenues starting on June 20. The project, which will replace aging sanitary sewer lines and mains, is already underway, but closures will be required from about 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily as the project proceeds this month. Up to two blocks will be closed at any given time for roughly three weeks per section as the project move north on 29th Street. Corvallis Transit System (CTS) will alter bus routes around the construction site.

Washington Way: The city will be reconstructing the railroad crossing at 35th Street and Washington Way this summer. During the reconstruction of the railroad at-grade crossing, road and rail work are to take place, which will result in sidewalk and roadway closures of 35th Street July 25- Aug. 26. Additional information on closure details and duration will be shared as information is received from the city. For questions or additional information, contact Nathan Patterson.

Hwy 20 Eddyville project update: Travelers between Newport and Corvallis should expect some brief delays to let trucks on and off of the highway at both ends of the project on U.S. 20. Ten-hour nighttime complete closures are planned to occur from Aug. 14 through the end of October, five nights a week, Sunday through Thursday. These are necessary because the drilling, blasting, and earthwork operations are above and alongside the highway and the contractor needs enough room and time to do this safely. These are currently scheduled to occur from 7:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., but that time may be adjusted, depending on construction safety needs. The current plan is for the road to be completely open on Friday and Saturday nights.
